HarrisOnian Simplicity.

General Harrison, during his month 5
sojourn at the White House, made him.
self very popular. He arose every morn
ing with the sun and took long walk,
often returning through the market.
On one of these occasions he purchased
a milch COW from ighboring farmer
and requested him to drive it to the
presidents house. He was there to
attend to the animal, and invited the
farmer to take some refreshment, pro-
cured n bowl of hot coffee, ham and
eggs, and continued conversation with
him about farming
The farmer having finished his break.
fast, remarked to the general s'You
have bought my COW and give me two
dollars more than asked, and good
breakfast besides. but if it wouldn't be
too much trouble, / would like to have
look at the president before 90" Il
am the president, replied the general.
The farmer at first looked incredulous,
having taken his hospitable friend for
the steward; but convinced of his mis-
take, with much frankness observed:
General, l voted against you at the
last election, but | didn't know you
then. That simple remark, Il didn't
know you then, /" will explain thousands
of votes cast against the good general
at his election.
General Harrison, in his last outdoor
exercise, was engaged in assisting the
gardener in adjusting the grape vines.
The gardener remarked that there
would be but little use in trailing the
vines, so far as any fruit was concerned,
as the boys would come on Sunday,
while the family was at church, and
steal all the grapes; and suggested to
the general, as a guard against such .
loss, that he should purchase an active
watchdog. Better, said the general,
"to employ Sabbath-school teacher;
a dog may take care of the grapes, but
a good Sabbath-school teacher will take
care of the grapes and the boys, too. "

EquaIizing Family labor.

Il have about come to the conclusion
that no man is good enough for even a
passably good woman" said the pro-
prictor of the Coon range all-sorts store,
as he glanced at lank fellow who had
just made q disastrous raid on a box
of matches. EVERY man has an easier
time than his wife.
1--WE thought OF that thousand
times" replied old man Gatewood,
known through the neighborhood as
Lazy Sam; Il know that have an
easier time than my wife, but I'm
bringing the thing down mighty nigh
equal now. i don't believe in allowing
a woman to mighty nigh Kill herself
at work, let me tell you, and for some
time have been shaping my points so
that she won't have such a hard time.
.Equalizing it, eh?"
That's exactly what I'm doing
gentlemen. Last year my po' wife had
to chop all the wood and fetch all the
water"
"And you have relieved her of that,
eh?''
"Wall, partly; she only has to chop
the wood now. My boy has got to be
big enough to tote the water / tell
you what's fact, man oughtt TO think
of these things"

The land adjoining A. T. Stewards
store on Chambers street, New York,
is owned BY two spinstcr sisters. SIEVE
raj years ago the merchant prince
offered them SO, 100 for the ground.
He kept raising on his original offer
from time to time until the amount
reached $50, 700. They positively re-
fused to sell, but gave a long ground
lease at high rental. The land is now
said to be worth three times what Mr.
Stewart first offered for it. The great
merchant is dead, but the spinsters
promise to survive the life of the lease
and to realize a snug fortune by patient
waiting

The Joss House in Mott Street.

Something that sounded like the whang-
ing of cymbals, the pounding of boards
and the blarc of u cracked clarionet, all
together, filed the air in Mott street the
other night. 1t came from the second
story, where temporary joss house had
been arranged to take the place of the ono
recently burned out in Chatham square.
1t was being dedicated and that was the
reason for the unusual noise a reporter,
who was permitted TO enter the sacred
room, found it filled with Cinnamon, two
of whom made all the noise. One ratified
n coul lie of sticks as hard and fast as he
could on something that looked like n

their ease generally. The joss shrine is
